Amazing stay! Stepping out onto the balcony to see zebras, wilderbeast, a rhino, a giraffe and elephants is such a fantastic experience. The buffet breakfast is in the lions den! We booked the Night Safari and highly recommend this, we were in a cage, travelling through the safari park feeding animals in the dark. Book a Twiga room for 1st floor rooms with animal view, some of these have connecting rooms whereas the family suites seem to overlook the pool area.

Kul upplevelse, renlighet inte ok

Kul upplevelse att få se och mata flera exotiska djur. Riktigt kul att få se giraffer från balkongen på rummet. Otroligt vänlig och hjälpsam personal. Rummet var dock väldigt smutsigt, inte alls städat med massa fläckar i badrum, damm överallt och hår från tidigare gäster, ganska så oacceptabelt.

子供達と2泊しました！他にないコンセプトで最高の滞在でした。私たちはファミリータイプのスイートに宿泊しましたが、その部屋からは動物が遠く、プールが近くにありました。動物が部屋から近いのを望むならば、手前の小さめの部屋を2室借りてコネクティングルームするのがベスト選択と思いました！スタッフも皆フレンドリーで子連れは最高だと思います！

동물을 좋아하는 아이랑 꼭 와야하는곳

다들 후기에서 도마뱀과 벌레 언급이 많아서 걱정했는데 바로 옆이 사파리인것을 감안하면 나쁘지않은 환경이였다. 다만 샴푸와 바디워시는 밖에서 챙겨가는걸 추천...비치되어있는건 너무 거품이 안남. 직원들 너무 친절해서 2박하는 내내 기분좋게 머물렀다. 숙소에서 동물보기도 좋고 사파리 투어도 즐겁고 환경적인 부분 감안하면 추천할만한 숙소
